Leg One of the Papua New Guinea Tour, Santa Monica

It was a tough start to the first leg of the PNG (Papua New Guinea) Tour 2009. If there is one thing you never want to hear while waiting to take off it is de-plane. Flight 201 to Lax from JFK had problems so we switched planes. Finally I made it to LAX and headed to my hotel on the beach in Santa Monica, more jet lagged than in my last 4 trips combined, domestic flying sucks in the US.
It was however a pleasure to be rambling around SM this afternoon. As a good friend of mine put it, "Californian's got bounce". I spent the afternoon dragging but watching alot of bounce. tonight I am keeping on the move and dining out in a meeting situation, fortunately revived from the Pacific air blowing in my wide open window.
